Abstract: A sporting goods article with a coating on a surface of the article for abrasion resistance and/or a high gloss appearance. The outer layer of the surface is a polymer, wood, metal, non-polymeric ink, non-polymeric colorant, non-polymeric dye, or a combination thereof The coating is a cured ceramer composition. The cured ceramer composition, in its simplest embodiment, is derived from a composition including inorganic oxide particles and a curable organic matrix, with the curable organic matrix including at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one organofunctional silane monomer coupling agent.

Abstract: A core for an elastomeric tubing assembly is produced from a ribbon helically wound on itself to form a cylindrical tube. The edges of the ribbon are formed to interlock with each other and are contoured to facilitate ultrasonic welding of the edges. A support member is coextruded in the ribbon to provide increased resistance to premature collapse of the tube.

Abstract: A core for a cold-shrink tubing assembly is produced from a ribbon helically wound on itself to form a cylindrical tube. The edges of the ribbon are formed to interlock with each other and are contoured to facilitate ultrasonic welding of the edges.

Abstract: A die-cut permanent marking article for use with an elongate object, consisting of a strip of low molecular weight heat-sensitive, transparent polymeric film having an upper and a lower surface, at least a portion of the lower surface being capable of self-adherence, at least a portion of the upper surface being imprintable, the polymeric film being fusible by the application of heat, but remaining transparent even after application of heat such that any marking placed on any portion of the article remains readable even if covered by one or more overwrapping portions of the strip.

Abstract: An array of electrically interconnected spaced electrical components on an apertured substrate wafer, each component being connected to terminal conductor pads on one surface of the substrate and to terminal conductor pads on the opposite surface of the substrate by thick film conductor strips which extend along the walls of the apertures is disclosed.

Abstract: Oily or other difficultly adherable surfaces are rendered receptive to pressure-sensitive adhesives when sprayed or coated with an organic solvent solution or dispersion of certain rubbery block copolymers and an unusually large amount of thermoplastic resin, preferably a blend in which at least one resin is compatible with each block of the copolymer.
